What about Cream of Mushroom Soup?

When I went to Malawi last summer, I didn't know that I would be going back or having contact with other women missionaries who plan to live in Malawi full time. It doesn't take long when speaking with moms, wives and single women, who will be keeping house in Malawi, to get on the subject of food. What food items can I purchase in Malawi? What should I try to pack and take with me? What should I plan to live without? These conversations have led to, what about cream of mushroom soup? Most single women and mothers have at some point relied on cream of mushroom soup to prepare a cheap meal or stretch a meal to feed a couple more mouths. Mrs. Gentry was excited to tell me a couple weeks ago that just recently Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup can be purchased at the market in Malawi. That was great news! Then a couple days ago she told me they found out each can costs $6 !!! The couple cans she bought are now on the top shelf of the pantry waiting for a special occasion. Who ever thought, cream of mushroom soup would become a delicacy!

Prayer Request: On May 24th I posted about one of the caregivers of the Children's Home, Dorothy being diagnosed with Anemia. Today (6/3) she became much worse and was admitted to the hospital. Tomorrow the doctor will run tests to see what is wrong. Please pray for her.
